Custom Cases
and Sheaths
I have a customer over on the coast who
asked me to make up a custom sheath to carry a Blackberry in. I didn't
know that people actually rode with their Blackberries, but apparently
they do. And why not? I decided to make it a standard offering. These
are really slick cases that, when in their standard size, can carry a
Blackberry, many of the new cell phones, a pack of smokes, a fistful of
.30-06 rounds, whatever you may feel like packing around. There are no
shortcuts here, I make them from high quality 8/9 Oz. leather, give them
a nice deep tooling and sick the edges down nicely. Everything is done
to the highest of standards. What you can't see is the leather strap
that is stitched in place on the back side. This is a real strap that
won't come off. You can carry these on your belt, slide them onto your
rope strap or a saddle string, or as some folks do, just leave them on
your truck seat. Need it in a slightly different size? Just ask! This is
a full custom shop, and I specialize in custom orders.
Last
summer while down on the Tejon I had a customer come by who was up from
Santa Barbara. I had a really nice little Boker folder with a beautiful
stag handle that he purchased, and he asked me if I could make him a
"really nice" custom sheath for it. So I did and he was very pleased. I
have since decided to add some leather sheaths as standard offerings.
These sheaths are also made from nice 8/9 Oz. leather (not any cheap
stuff), are tooled deeply, and are finished off very nicely. I normally
put a nice little concho on top of the snap to dress it up, but you can
go with a plain snap too if you desire. For that matter, if you want it
basket stamped instead of floral carved, that's fine too. Want you
initials inlaid in it? I can do that too. As you can see, there are two
standard sizes, a small and a medium. And, like the Blackberry cases
above, there is a heavy duty leather strap stitched on the back side
that will never come off.
These sheaths work great, and as you can see are handy for carrying
eye glasses around in as well. Why don't you get one for that Buck 110
you've been packing around for the last twenty years? Better yet, order
one for that nice guide who is going to be taking you on that Colorado
elk hunt! Have something you need a sheath for but it is larger than
this? Don't see what you are looking for? Just ask, as I run a full
custom shop and can fix you up with what you need.
